BOOK SUMMARY
In Silver Town, the secrets
run deep…
Alpha
werewolf Brett Silver has an ulterior motive when he donates a prized family
heirloom to the Silver Town hotel. Ellie MacTire owns the place with her
sisters, and he’s out to get her attention.
Ellie
is even more special than Brett knows. She’s a wolf-shifter with a unique
ability to commune with the dead. Ellie has been ostracized, so she protects
herself and those she loves by revealing nothing—not even when strange and
dangerous things begin to happen in Silver Town. And especially not to the devastatingly
handsome and generous wolf who’s determined to win her over…

EXCERPT
He smiled and leaned down to kiss her. No ghosts out here
to interrupt them. Just a chilly fall day when green-needled pines
rubbed elbows with quaking golden aspen, their leaves dancing gaily
in the cool breeze.
Brett’s gentle kiss turned hot and needy. No way was she
pushing him away this time, ghost or no. This was what she’d needed. A kiss
from a wolf who didn’t automatically dismiss her ghostly abilities. A man who
was warm and gentle, but also passionate and oh so desirable.
This time Ellie did what she’d wanted to before, slipping
her tongue into his mouth and stroking his. He crushed her against his body,
revealing how passion- ately needy he was. She’d never seen a male shift who
was aroused like that, and she had every intention of adding the image to her
bedroom fantasy tonight. His lips continued to brush against
hers, slowing the pace as if
he were trying
to get his rampant urges
under control.
As hard as he was, he wasn’t succeeding.
He finally brushed his mouth against her hair with a
long, lingering kiss. “Ready to run?”
His voice was heavy with lust, and she was having a
difficult time backing off and letting the poor wolf get his erection under
control. Instead, she wanted to rub against him, like wolves did, to show she
was just as interested in him as he was in her.
Their pheromones had already spiked, boosting the burning need to consume
and claim each other as mated
wolves. Consummating a relationship only ended one way for wolves: mated for life.
Brett’s angular face softened as he pulled away, still
holding her arms as if he wasn’t quite ready to let go.
“One of the things I wanted to show you is my great-
aunt’s home,” he said as Ellie rested her hands on his hips, barely hearing
what he was saying as she remem- bered how his erection had felt against her abdomen.
“It was my uncle’s after that, but it’s in ruins now.
Lightning hit a pine tree, which caught fire. It started a fire in the woods,
and my great-aunt’s home was con- sumed. The stone floor and the two chimneys
are still standing. The forest has regrown up around it. It’s a lovely place to
visit, near the river.”
That got her attention. “Did anybody die there?” She really didn’t want to meet any
ghosts on this wolf run.
“No. My great-aunt had already died, and my uncle made it
out just fine. Are you ready to run?”
“I am.” Though she’d really enjoyed all the kissing that
led up to the run. She was relieved she wouldn’t be plagued by ghosts. At least she hoped she wouldn’t be. That
didn’t mean someone else might not be haunting the area.
They finally released each other and began to yank off
their clothes.
Because of the cold, Ellie hurried to strip as fast as he
did. She had fully intended to avert her eyes and not check out his arousal,
but she couldn’t resist peeking. As soon as she did, she got an eyeful—the cold
didn’t seem to affect him one bit. When she glanced up to see if he had seen
her look, Brett pulled off his shirt and smiled at her.
Her whole body warmed, and she swore waves of heat were
radiating off her.
Naked now, she quickly called on the warming qual- ity of the shift, her body
transforming in the blur of the change, the cold on her skin dissipating. She dropped to her
four paws, her winter coat warming her as the snow-
flakes settled on the outer guard hairs and keeping the snow from melting
against her skin. Brett had already shifted and was waiting for her. She nudged
his face in greeting before he licked hers and raced off downstream away from the falls.
She watched him loping through the woods, the strength of his muscles,
his beautiful furry, black-tipped
tail held stately behind him, and his head held high,
smelling the air, watchful, alert.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Between a Wolf and a Hard Place" by Terry Spear. This is a sweet and endearing story - I truly enjoyed it. It's an easy read that is filled with friendship and family, a bit of suspense and even a touch of angst. Everything that is needed to make a story flow and keep the mind and heart of the reader engaged. The characters were real (well, as real as a shifter can be) and likable. Both our Hero and heroine warmed my heart - they were true to each other, even when obstacles appeared in their way. The romance blossoms and blooms and was simply lovely to read. The secondary characters, including Brett's aunt, were fun and added so much to the story. This one certainly falls into the paranormal world, with shifters and ghosts and supernatural stuff but, even with all of that, it is simply a love story. And Ms. Spear did a wonderful job. It's not filled with sex scenes or lusting after the other, but with heartfelt feelings and actions. I say thumbs up for this one! (received ARC for honest review)
